LAX FILM OFFICE

Los Angeles World Airports is pleased to offer its facilities to your production company. There are many usable sites at LAX available for filming 24 hours a day. Airport terminals, aircraft parking areas, airline ticket counters, baggage claim areas, parking lots and curbside check-in await filmmakers.

Due to security restrictions, filming in active passenger terminals is limited to public areas only. Filming activities beyond the Transportation Security Administration screening checkpoint are limited. These productions are approved on a case by case basis.
